HANFORD SPLITS: Dusty Derflinger was 4-for-4 and drove in two runs, and Trevor Smith was 3-for-5 with three RBIs to lead the Falcons to a 14-5 win over Gonzaga Prep in the first game of a nonleague pair at Waits Field.

After taking advantage of five G-Prep errors in the opener, Hanford gave back five miscues in a 12-8 loss to Mt. Spokane, blowing an early 8-0 lead.

“Mt. Spokane made some errors early in the game to give us some runs, and we made several errors in the last three innings that gave them life,” Falcons coach Tom DeWitz said.

COLUMBIA-BURBANK 4, WAITSBURG-PRESCOTT 2: Cameron Jamison struck out 11 over five innings of one-hit relief in the nonleaguer, taking over after freshman starter Hayden McEachen was just a little too consistent getting his fastball over the plate.

A.J. Dixon wsa 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and two RBIs to spark the Coyotes’ offense.
